Early Adolescent Education—6th, 7th & 8th Grade Only
Our unique educational model supports students’ exploration of self, integrating daily mindfulness practices, reflective journaling, and our innovative Millennium Way Quest. Through these experiences, students develop a deep understanding of themselves and their place in the world, laying the foundation for a lifetime of self-awareness, purpose, and authentic connection.
At Millennium, we guide students through this transformative journey of self-discovery, centered around four fundamental questions: Who am I?, How do I relate to others?, What do I believe?, and How will I contribute? These questions serve as touchstones throughout their middle school experience, fostering personal growth and spiritual exploration.
By practicing deep listening and navigating complex social dynamics in a supportive environment, students build relationships that extend far beyond their middle school years. This focus on authentic connection not only enhances their school experience but prepares them for meaningful personal and professional relationships throughout their lives.
Our Forum and Council programs create safe spaces for sharing, listening, and mutual support, fostering genuine connections among students and adults. We emphasize social-emotional learning, helping students develop crucial skills in empathy, compassion, and effective communication.
Our competency-based learning approach ensures that students not only acquire knowledge but also develop the skills to apply it effectively, fostering a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. Millennium’s approach to academics is designed to spark curiosity and develop critical thinking skills through our innovative, transdisciplinary curriculum.
Our program features engaging Quests and real-world experiences that challenge students to think beyond traditional subject boundaries. By integrating STEM, humanities, and creative expression, we cultivate well-rounded thinkers prepared for the complexities of the modern world.
As a parent, you want to ensure your child thrives both mentally and physically during the crucial middle school years, a time of significant growth and change. We recognize the importance of addressing not only the emotional and cognitive development of your child but also the profound physical changes that occur during adolescence. These shifts can influence everything from self-perception to social interactions, which is why building self-awareness is a core part of our program.
Our Parent Education Series, led by experts in adolescent development, provides you with actionable strategies to navigate the complexities of raising a healthy, balanced teenager. Through our Parent Forum program, you’ll connect with other parents, share experiences, and build a supportive community. By choosing Millennium, you’re joining a community committed to nurturing your child’s overall wellness and empowering you as a parent.
To foster critical thinking, creativity, and self-awareness, our academics are purposefully integrated with traditional subjects and real-world experiences. Students tackle complex questions, applying knowledge across disciplines while developing emotional and social skills. Real-world expeditions, wilderness programs, and leadership opportunities prepare learners for future challenges, equipping them with essential skills to thrive in an interconnected, ever-changing world.
